It's a good movie to watch if history is interesting to you. The cast did a wonderful job portraying the characters.

A little long, dragged a bit. Huge Churchill fan but it wasn’t the best representation of him. Still an enjoyable movie.

It was good but I was expecting to see Churchill's role in the D-day preparations. At some point the movie should have moved forward by 4 years. D-day was Churchill's greatest moment and unfortunately the movie didn't show it.

Metacritic

Darkest Hour spends so much time as an actor’s showcase for Oldman that it oftentimes forgets to remind the audience of the ongoing war around him. However, despite the film’s occasionally languid pace, Wright imbues enough urgency through Oldman to maintain an undercurrent of tension throughout the film’s two-hour runtime.

From its grab-for-all-the-gusto Gary Oldman performance to its direction by Joe Wright, Darkest Hour is nothing if not an energetic, showy piece of work, but some types of showy have more staying power than others.

The year’s most shocking transformation arrives in the form of Gary Oldman’s Winston Churchill, a creation for the ages.
